(Formerly Central Seattle Recovery Center and South King County Recovery Centers) provides Central Seattle and South King County residents with a continuum of care for those who suffer with alcoholism or other drug addiction.

As a patient-centered Agency, Recovery Centers of King County's primary mission is to provide a full continuum of treatment and related services for individuals, their families and significant others who are suffering from chemical dependency. We endeavor to make our services available to patients of all income levels.

Chemical dependency is a primary disease and that total abstinence from alcohol and other mind-altering intoxicants is essential to recovery. Many do recover. Society and individuals benefit most from the earliest possible intervention. Chemical dependency is a family illness and an effective treatment program must encompass the entire family. Raising the level of community awareness about alcohol/drug abuse is an essential part of our mission.

Community Hygiene Concern (CHC) is a not-for-profit charity set up in 1988 to protect people, especially children, and pets, from parasites commonly found in the UK.

We formulate and resource sustainable control and eradication strategies based on sound science. Our work draws together the expertise of all parties with a practical contribution to make to the evidence/experience base.

Originally we addressed pediculosis (infestation with lice) scabies, pesticides for topical use, enterobiasis (threadworm infection) toxocariasis and toxoplasmosis. The life-cycle of both 'toxos' involves household pets, dogs and cats in the case of toxocariasis, and cats only for toxoplasmosis.

Our current work centres on development of the Bug Busting solution to head lice and nits. Head lice produce symptoms of minor medical consequence, but cause enormous distress. Anyone with hair can catch head lice, but children are the most vulnerable. Both lice and the vendors of 'quick fix' products thrive in a society deskilled in rational thinking about personal parasites. CHC's

Bug Busting programme converts anxiety into proactive prevention.

The work of CHC was part-funded by the UK Department of Health from 1990 to 2006, with specific funding from 1995 combined with ongoing support for the Bug Busting programme.

The King's Fund grant-funded our work from 1990 to 1999.

We won one of the first ten Smith Kline Beecham IMPACT awards for excellence in community health in 1998.

The UK National Lottery Charity (Community Fund) supported our Bug Busting Community Involvement project and funded an independent clinical trial of our Bug Buster Kit run by The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Therapeutic Health Services operates on the belief that chemical dependency and mental illness are chronic, progressive diseases that respond to appropriate intervention, treatment and prevention. By effectively employing all three, individuals and families are better able to lead healthy and productive lives in their communities.

Our clients in recovery and those managing their mental illness need more than counseling and medication treatments to function at their greatest capacity. That’s why we offer a complete range of supplemental services, including language and cultural expertise, family and community support, and vocational services. Our Philosophy

Each year, more people die or become disabled from substance abuse and severe mental illness than from any other preventable cause.

In fact, one in four deaths in our country is the result of alcohol, drug or tobacco abuse. You can imagine the enormous burden this places on everything from family life and public safety to health care. By helping our neighbors overcome alcohol and drug addiction, we help strengthen our entire community.

At Therapeutic Health Services (THS), we believe in treatment that deals with the whole person and every aspect of his or her life. Our approach includes mental health and family services, plus a wide range of chemical dependency treatments such as methadone and counseling. Years of working with the diverse community of Puget Sound has taught our staff the value of providing services that are culturally relevant and in line with each individual’s needs.
